I know this is probably one of the most generic threads for this type of forum, but just curious.

I really like Ernie Ball Custom Gauges (9/42s), so I ordered 2 sets off of eBay just now.

No. You beat me! :lol: I typed "strats" and some wierd spell checker changed it to "strays" automatically. I wouldn't have figured that out, but when I went to correct it, it kept changing back to "strays". :lol:

I was hoping to get all of that done before anybody posted about it. I guess from now on, I'm playing strays. :)

Depends on the guitar. Right now I'm all over the map with everything from regular 9's-12's. I average out at 10's if I'm playing in standard tuning.
